PG: Rebounding MIA

[RedBulls23]

Out rebounded 52 to 33...yuck!

And they had 17 offensive rebounds.

Westbrook is a fantasy turned into a realty.

Ever have those times when you just wanna tear **** apart and raise hell on your wake, but just don't have the skill, physical ability etc. to do jack ****?

Westbrook is the person who makes that happen. Sometimes life throws **** at you and you just go "I wish I can Russel Westbrook life right now."

He's a god damned verb. He is empowerment. He is hope.

Spoiler:

He is MIstborn

[Tenchi Ryu]

Game was still winnable even after all our screwups.

But Superstars gonna shine, that's what they do. Give me talent over heart hustle and lunch pans.

[tomacorandom]

I wouldn't mind this lose if they had put that effort on previous games...

[nrockwaychicago]

westbrook is amazing


edit: mirotic too



fun game regardless of the outcome. do the bulls ever win afternoon games?

[aguifs]

Just give Nikola Mirotiwitzki the ball...

[umfan83]

Bulls finished playing the Western Conference. They finished 1-1 against every team except New Orleans and Minnesota.

[RSP83]

Not even mad at this loss. We're there up til the end. Just fell short on the talent department. bad decision making and poor boxing out. Westbrook is having his mini Lebron game.

[BullsFTW]

Pau Gasoft

[Ice Man]

Better than I expected. Got bulled inside, otherwise played well ... just not quite enough talent. I wonder if Mike has not really recovered from that ankle. He has always had games where he disappears, being a low-volume guy, but they're coming so frequently now.

I guess Westbrook won't win the MVP but he sure looks like one to me. Takes over games as MVPs do.

[RememberLu]

Noah made layups
Moore showed he can be relied on to play
Niko keeps confirming his bright future
nobody got injured

[taco_daddy]

That was as ugly as I expected it to be.

[Payt10]

Out-Hustled and Out-Competed the entire game. No excuse for that embarrassment on the boards. Team just doesn't care to stick to fundamental basketball. Missed FT's hurt again as usual, as does the numerous missed uncontested layups.

[The Explorer]

It just seems to me like the players are gassed. Their body language hasn't been good in the last few 4th quarters. They are just waiting for Rose, Butler, and GIbson to come back and give them a break.

[McBulls]

The game was a lot closer than I thought it would be. Good energy by what must be a very tired team.

[BullsFTW]

Mirotic is something else. Glad to have him.

Thibs should've played Noah more, along side Niko.

Brooks while he can score, makes costly turnovers.

Just counting down until Rose & Butler returns.

[Eesee1]

So glad Gasol played 35, Snell played 38 and Moore played almost the entire second half in yet another loss.

The team is missing 3 of its top players. Thibs needs to understand that minutes distribution is the most important thing in this compressed schedule stretch. You're not likely to have a good record here anyway.

He'll never get it on minutes.

[TimRobbins]

We don't have enough. Butler needs to come back. The end.

[RedBulls23]

Last two games the Bulls have been out rebounded 107-69. That's just disgusting

[Madhouse]

Let's trade Noah and Gibson this offseason and start the rebuild and get a real defensive big like WCS to pair him with Niko
